Vitalik: Ethereum Foundation is not the central manager of the ETH ecosystem, future development will focus on “small but long-term” approach

On May 25, Ethereum founder Vitalik posted on X sharing his views on the future direction of the Ethereum Foundation.
First, he emphasized that this is just his personal opinion. The board is not only him, and he does not have more special power than other board members. Aya Miyaguchi is leading most of the implementation of this transformation, and his own involvement is more focused on technical issues. The board is also expanding, and his influence within the organization will continue to decline, which he frankly welcomes.
Vitalik stated that the Ethereum Foundation should not be the “center of Ethereum,” but rather “a node with clear responsibilities, existing alongside other nodes.” They have always said this in the past, but many in the ecosystem, including some inside the foundation, want the foundation to be the true center. Now, they are taking concrete actions to ensure the foundation becomes the latter.
This is especially important because the Ethereum Foundation is essentially a resource-limited, organizationally limited entity. The foundation currently holds only about 0.16% of all ETH, even less than many large ETH holders; many other blockchain projects’ “central foundations” usually control 10%-50% of tokens.
Now, the Ethereum Foundation has decided to use its remaining resources to pursue “long-term sustainability,” rather than continuous expansion.
The foundation will focus on those critical to making Ethereum a: censorship-resistant, control-resistant, open, private, and secure system—things that no one else will do if the foundation doesn’t. This means they must make tough choices. Some projects and respected individuals they highly value may no longer belong to the foundation system in the future.
In fact, if they want important tasks to attract external capital, it’s necessary to leave some talented people, influential public figures, and those who share the mission and CROPS philosophy outside the foundation.
Finally, Vitalik said: from a financial perspective, the most valuable “product” of the Ethereum blockchain is actually the ETH asset itself. Ethereum currently protects about $250 billion worth of ETH, and those features mentioned earlier are very important for ETH’s asset value.
He revealed that about 90% of his net worth is ETH, with most of the remaining in about $40 million of on-chain fiat funds, which have been allocated to open-source biotech, software, or hardware projects.
However, he also emphasized that some necessary work to support ETH’s value goes beyond the responsibilities of the Ethereum Foundation. Therefore, they need other “heroes” in the ecosystem to step up, some of whom even hold more ETH than the foundation.
He stated that the Ethereum Foundation has recently been thinking about how to collaborate with these organizations and provide them with necessary initial support.
In conclusion, he said: the future Ethereum Foundation will be smaller than before but more principled; in some aspects, its stance may even be hard to understand. But it will also be more long-term oriented, better suited to ensuring ETH ultimately brings meaningful value to the world.

Vitalik: More people should learn about privacy protocol Interfold

On May 28, Ethereum founder Vitalik said more people should learn about the privacy protocol Interfold, stating it has basically realized his nearly ten-year-old concept centered around MACI (Minimum Anti-Collusion Infrastructure).
Interfold is designed for voting, sealed auctions, and similar scenarios, based on threshold encryption and homomorphic encryption. Users submit on-chain votes with zero-knowledge proofs of eligibility, and the system performs aggregation calculations in an FHE environment before threshold decryption.
Vitalik said this scheme can provide voter anonymity, censorship resistance, and result verification under Ethereum, but its activity and anti-coercion capabilities depend on the honest majority of M-of-N committees. Currently, it mainly supports addition-based voting, with complex computations still limited by ZK-over-FHE costs.

Coinbase launches global crypto compliance network TRUSThub

On May 29, Coinbase announced the expansion of its crypto Travel Rule compliance network TRUST and launched a new platform TRUSThub, aimed at helping global virtual asset service providers (VASPs) exchange compliant information across platforms with privacy-first design, without establishing centralized sensitive data storage.
The official statement says TRUSThub is based on TRUST’s peer-to-peer architecture, allowing members to share compliance data with global counterparts even if they use different Travel Rule tools, solving the “sunrise period” compatibility issues in regulatory enforcement across jurisdictions, and lowering VASP onboarding barriers.
Coinbase also announced that the TRUST network continues to expand, now covering markets including the EU, UK, Australia, India, Brazil, US, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland, UAE, and others.

Wintermute enters prediction markets, providing bilateral liquidity for mainstream platforms

Market maker Wintermute announced it has entered the prediction market space, providing bidirectional liquidity (two-way quotes) for event contracts on major prediction platforms.
Wintermute states it is currently continuously offering buy and sell quotes for active event contracts. The combined monthly trading volume of related prediction platforms has exceeded $20 billion. By April 2026, Polymarket and Kalshi’s cumulative trading volume surpassed $150 billion.
Wintermute’s OTC trading head Jake Ostrovskis said prediction markets show demand characteristics similar to large asset classes, but liquidity is still in early stages. Ongoing bilateral liquidity helps narrow bid-ask spreads, support larger trades, and improve the probability signals reflected in market prices. Previously, institutions like Jump Trading and Galaxy Digital have also entered prediction market liquidity services.
